Goes to Her Grave.

Mrs. Alice Devlin, wife of Mr.. r. Hillery
Devlin, of Verdery, died at her home last
Friday. after q lingering illness, leaving a
husband and several small children.
Beautiful in person and lovely in charac-
ter, she was the joy of n fond mother and the
pride of devoted husband, and her death is
lamented by all who knew her. From the
following words of friend to another friend,
In respect to her, the reader may know some
thing of her:
"I had hoped that you would meet her, and
then I know that you would have loved her {;
for to know her was to love her. If you were
to see her now, you would see u physical
wreck, but through the Sunken eye and hol-
low cheek you could see the elements that
make her what she is-the best, the noblest,
most affectiOnate of daughters and sisters"

MISSING ELECTION RETURNS.
Valuable Records That State Secretary
Myers Allowed to be Taken from the Office.

Mr.. Griffin was not long in Office as Secretary
Of State before inquiry made of him for the
State election returns between 1916 and 1855.
Since then the inquiries have been numerous
from persons here and elsewhere who want to
examine them. A search was made of the Office
in which every nook and corner underwent
thorough cleaning, without finding the lost
election records. A gentleman called one day
TO examine them. and when told that the returns
were not to be found in the Office, said: "Oh,
l remember When Mr.. Myers was Sec
rotary he allowed distinguished Democrat to

strange though. that he should
tain the returns. 1t was many
months ago when ne procured them
Secretary Griffin at once wrote TO the distin-
euished Democrat to return the States records
that should not have been taken from the Office
where the law says they shall be kept at all
times for public inspection. He received no re-
ply. and wrote again with no better result. He
wrote the third time, anf the distinguished
Democrat has not responded. Yesterday a
messenger was sent after him, but he could not
be found. 1t is possible this Democrat has not

A PIONEER CHURCH.
A Blu ilding That Was Regarded for Many
Years as the Finest Structure in Indiana.

Christ Episcopal Church, the mcentennial
of which was recently celebrated. was for many
years regarded as the finest religious structure
in Indiana. The original idea of the building
came from The Missionary an Episcopalian
paper published at Burlington, N. J., in which
was given roughly executed outline of a cheap
church. This was enlarged with an ordinary
quill pen and counting b. use ruler and pair of
common dividers or carpenters compasses,
designated the pews on ground plan from
which was sold in a single afternoon, at public
cutlery, So, 200 worth of pews. This sale took
place in the second story of a wooden building
on Washington street, about where Talbotts
jewelry store stands. ''This
start was SO encouraging" Mr.. Isaac
Kiersted says. 'that we imme diaiely employed
Elder e. Coestock. firm of carpenters to put
the plan in better shape, Mr. Elder being a
draug htsman. but the ground plan
eariy adhered to as many of the purchasers had
chosen the pews with reference to the locality
OF the windows and We were determined scrupu-
lousy TO observe good faith. The vestibule
